About Marvin

Meet Marvin, our charming gentleman kitty! With his striking midnight black coat accented by a few wisps of pure white on his chest, he truly stands out. Estimated to be around three to five years old, Marvin was rescued by a Good Samaritan who noticed him as a friendly stray in need of help. Life on the streets was tough for Marvin, as shown by some previous injuries, including a large abscess on his cheek. Thankfully, our dedicated vet staff treated his medical needs, and he’s now fully healed. Despite his past struggles, Marvin has a heart of gold. He loves to be petted and groomed, and his calm, gentle demeanor makes him a joy to be around. Whether he’s napping in the sun or watching the world go by from the window, Marvin seeks to shower you with love and cuddle time. This sweet boy is neutered, up-to-date on his rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, treated with flea preventative, and microchipped. Marvin is ready for a loving home where he can thrive. Could that home be yours? Click apply to start the adoption process.
